find a large tract Of several thousand
acres Of rich sandy loan within SIX
miles Of Los Angeles open to pur-
chasers at ouly 800 per acre. This
land was formerly owned by DIR. Bur
hank and from it, in the past, he has
ra.ned thousands of tons OF grain
.xarv wear without irrigation. But
owing to its fire location, the richness
II its soil, and its adaptability to fruit
and vine culture, q syndicate was
formed last spring to place it upon the
market in small tracts, to suit the
rurchasers. This syndicate is known

SCENERY surpasses in picturesqueness
many sights in Europe which thou
sands. yearly, cross the Atlantlc
ocean to view. From here, as the
panorama of view unrolls, ana one
sees a fertile valley dotted with beau
tiful cottages, around which cluster
flowers more fragrant and beautiful
than those of Turkey, and here, too,
yrow oranges sweeter than those OF
Cyprus. peaches finer in flavor than
those of delaware, pears more
luscious tht. those Of Maryland, ana
grapes that vie, in beauty ana excei-
lencv with those that cling to vines
which cree, and trail along the
casiled Rhine. Over the mountains
the forest has thrown an emerald vale,
and along the valleys margin threads
a silver stream. In the distance the
city's domes and spires stand out in
bold relief and over all is an ever blue
sky SO purelv clear that at night the
stars seem sit:.a rely near.
To nature charms art has

days toll in the city, can re ich his

and healthful suburban valley in a
fifteen minute ride. A railroad will
also be completed in the near future

being turned into magnificent parx,
in which will be beautiful shade trees,
